Resistance is futile

As everyone know it’s a long time that Choqok and Blogilo had no real update from me, 5 years ago when I started them I had time, energy and passion to spend on them. in the past year, all of those had gone little by little. but I was trying to resist it and keep them up even a little,

But now, I have to admit that I cannot continue, because of some personal reasons:
mostly because I’m working as a software engineer somewhere, and that fulfill my programming and coding joys, so I replaced my coding hobby with another hobby (photography) recently and It’s keeping me too much busy that there’s no more time to spend somewhere else :)

So, If anyone interested to work on either Choqok or Blogilo I would be really appreciated to help him/her and give away their maintenance.

I know I wasn’t a good maintainer/developer because I didn’t find and prepare someone to fill my place after me, I’m sorry.

PS: BTW, If anyone was interested to check on my photography, here are some links: 500px, facebook, flickr,

I’ve been using Choqok on a daily basis and it’s awesome, and I’ve heard great things about Blogilo as well although I am not a blogger myself. You’ve done a great job with both projects, so contratulations!

I like Blogilo a lot, thanks for creating it.
And although it’s a shame you’ve no time for to keep developing it, thank you for stepping up and saying so instead of just disappearing. If I had programming skills, I’d try, but…
(nice photos btw)

Don’t be sorry! You have no obligation to keep developing your programs, or to take care of finding new maintainers. If anything, we, the users owe you, for a great program.

I see that Blogilo already has other contributors, and I’m sure someone will step up to maintain Choqok. Not that Choqok, as complete as it is now, needs much maintaining anyway, I think :)

Now that I’m getting to know the pump.io API, maybe in the future I’ll be able to contribute a pump.io plugin to Choqok, although I’m not sure the microblogging paradigm (which Choqok is designed for) fits with Pump.

Anyway, thanks a lot for all the time you spent developing these great programs. I’ve enjoyed Choqok for years, and I owe you one!

Thats unfortunate. I am regular Choqok user and second applciation I start after login (Chromium being first). Infact, I am lead to this site from Choqok; kdecommunity tweet.
Anyways, thanks for all the good work and best wishes for your other pursuits. We will hope for a comeback. :-)

Thanks for being candid about this. While Choqok could use some polish and a few features, it works very well day-to-day, and I’m thankful for the work you’ve done. I hope a new maintainer steps in to keep it just as good in the future. :)
